Nomad Hostel Stone Town is the perfect place to stay on a backpackers budget. It was clean, comfortable, and full of great vibes. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always happy to give tips and make you feel at home. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Stone Town, and the social atmosphere makes it easy to meet other travelers. The breakfast was a nice unexpected bonus. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zanzibar!

All hostels in Stone Town

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
